  • Fight, Flight Or Lockdown Edited
    Fight, Flight or Lockdown: Dorn & Satterly 1 Fight, Flight or Lockdown - Teaching Students and Staff to Attack Active Shooters could Result in Decreased Casualties or Needless Deaths By Michael S. Dorn and Stephen Satterly, Jr., Safe Havens International. Since the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007, there has been considerable interest in an alternative approach to the traditional lockdown for campus shooting situations. These efforts have focused on incidents defined by the United States Department of Education and the United States Secret Service as targeted acts of violence which are also commonly referred to as active shooter situations. This interest has been driven by a variety of factors including: • Incidents where victims were trapped by an active shooter • A lack of lockable doors for many classrooms in institutions of higher learning. • The successful use of distraction techniques by law enforcement and military tactical personnel. • A desire to see if improvements can be made on established approaches. • Learning spaces in many campus buildings that do not offer suitable lockable areas for the number of students and staff normally in the area. We think that the discussion of this topic and these challenges is generally a healthy one. New approaches that involve students and staff being trained to attack active shooters have been developed and have been taught in grades ranging from kindergarten to post secondary level. There are however, concerns about these approaches that have not, thus far, been satisfactorily addressed resulting in a hot debate about these concepts. We feel that caution and further development of these concepts is prudent. Developing trend in active shooter response training The relatively new trend in the area of planning and training for active shooter response for K-20 schools has been implemented in schools.

  • Assessing the Impact of Human Mobility to Predict Regional Excess

Assessing the Impact of Human Mobility to Predict Regional Excess Death in Ecuador Leticia Cuéllar, Irene Torres*, Ethan Romero-Severson, Riya Mahesh, Nathaniel Ortega, Sara Pungitore, Ruian Ke, and Nicolas Hengartner Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM, USA *Fundación Octaedro, Quito, Ecuador January 31, 2020 Abstract COVID-19 outbreaks have had high mortality in low- and medium-income countries such as Ecuador. Human mobility is an important factor influencing the spread of diseases possibly leading to a high burden of disease at the country level. Drastic control measures, such as complete lockdown are effective epidemic controls, yet in practice, one hopes that a partial shutdown would suffice. It is an open problem to determine how much mobility can be allowed while controlling an outbreak. In this paper, we use statistical models to relate human mobility to the excess death in Ecuador while controlling for demographic factors. The mobility index provided by GRANDATA, based on mobile phone users, represents the change of number of out-of-home events with respect to a benchmark date (March 2nd, the first date the data is available). The study confirms the global trend that more men are dying than expected compared to women, and that people under 30 show less deaths than expected.

  • Weyanoke Wildlife Sanctuary Pathways Spring 2020
    Weyanoke Wildlife Sanctuary Pathways Spring 2020 Coronavirus and the Weyanoke Sanctuary Hello Neighbors and Friends, First off we hope that everyone is well and maintaining responsible anti virus precautions. Because of the pandemic we thought it especially important that the Sanctuary stays open and available for people to go to as a place of safety and relax- ation where folks can go in these times of stress. We have had lots of people take ad- vantage of this; families, young kids, older folks, all enjoying the fresh outdoors. We are very thankful for the way that trash is mostly picked up and the Sanctuary is mostly respected. Unfortunately there have been some people that ignore the rules, and bring their dogs and bikes in the Sanctuary and then get angry when someone points out the rules. We have also had two break-ins at our shed on the property, locks cut and chains stolen, a Tazz wood chipper, that used to be green with a bent left rear axel in case anyone has seen it, was stolen, in addition to packs of work gloves and face masks used by our volunteers. As a result of the break-ins and thefts we will now lock the Sanctuary up every night. We will install surveillance and security equipment at great expense. We also need to give the Sanctuary a rest from all the human contact that has been going on, with so many people using the space. This is, after all, a bird and wildlife sanctuary, not a people sanctuary, and it needs time to recuperate.

  • Book Review of Caught: the Prison State and the Lockdown of American Politics, by Marie Gottschalk
    445 Book Review Marie Gottschalk, Caught: The Prison State and the Lockdown of American Politics, Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2015, pp. 474, $35.00 Cloth; $24.95 Paper. Reviewed by Shon Hopwood Introduction The American criminal justice system is a mess. It criminalizes too much conduct, disproportionately targets the poor and people of color, and overly relies on incarceration. It has become so immense that millions of Americans are starting to feel its squeeze as its grip fails every demographic of America from crime victims and taxpayers to those it convicts. The system desperately needs to be reexamined before an even larger segment of Americans comes to view the rule of criminal law as a rule of oppression. To their credit, academics can lay claim to being among the first to highlight the carceral state and its causes. A deep body of literature now exists on the mass incarceration crisis,1 and Professor Marie Gottschalk has made an important contribution with her book Caught. Whereas others focused on discrete parts of the carceral state, Gottschalk has meticulously detailed all of it—from the political factors that created the American carceral state to those who have profited from it. No stone is unturned in her quest to comprehensively strip our criminal justice problems bare, and she consistently reminds us of their enormity. Her thesis: The carceral state has grown so massive that it has cut off millions from the American Dream, which Gottschalk defines as “the faith that everyone has an inalienable right to freedom, justice, and equal opportunities to get ahead, and that everyone stands equal before the law” (2).

In this study, the impact of lockdown on atmospheric particle number concentrations and size distributions is investigated in two different sites of Southern Italy: Lecce and Lamezia Terme, regional stations of the GAW/ACTRIS networks. The effects of restrictions are quantified by comparing submicron particle concentrations, in the size range from 10 nm to 800 nm, measured during the lockdown period and in the same period of previous years, from 2015 to 2019, considering three time intervals: prelockdown, lockdown and postlockdown. Different percentage reductions in total particle number concentrations are observed, −19% and −23% in Lecce and −7% Citation: Dinoi, A.; Gulli, D.; and −4% in Lamezia Terme during lockdown and postlockdown, respectively, with several variations Ammoscato, I.; Calidonna, C.R.; in each subclass of particles.

PRELIMINARY: PLEASE DO NOT CITE Epidemiological and Economic Effects of Lockdown Alexander Arnon* Penn Wharton Budget Model John Ricco* Penn Wharton Budget Model Kent Smetters* Penn Wharton Budget Model The Wharton School NBER Abstract We examine the period of national lockdown beginning in March 2020 using an integrated epidemiological-econometric framework in which health and economic outcomes are jointly determined. We augment a state-level compartmental model with behavioral responses to non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) and to local epidemiological conditions. To calibrate the model, we construct daily, county-level measures of contact rates and employment and estimate key parameters with an event study design. We have three main findings: First, NPIs introduced by state and local governments explain a small fraction of the nationwide decline in contact rates but nevertheless reduced COVID-19 deaths by almost 30% percent---saving about 33,000 lives---over the first 3 months of the pandemic. However, NPIs also explain nearly 15% of the decline in employment---around 3 million jobs---over the same period.
